why not provide a real init to the vserver? that would make rebooting more
sane (we dont need the reboot daemon), the vserver would be more

how2: store an offset for all pid's of a security-context, so that the
vservers init becomes Pid 1 its decendants (and itself). (does this
require big kernel changes? i don't assume)
